CCF Tea

CCF stands for
cumin, coriander, and fennel. All three of these herbs help the digestion. The tea
tastes quite good. I’ve served it to a lot of people who first say it tastes
good and then ask what it is. The tea is very balanced and good for everyone. Wonderful
after a meal, or put it in a travel mug and sip it through the day. Although
this is a popular tea in the Ayurveda world, I’ve yet to see tea bags in the
store. But it’s very easy to make yourself.

Take equal amounts
of each of the three seeds. In the Denver area, you can find them in Vitamin
Cottage/Natural Grocers in the spice section. Use about 1 teaspoon total of
seeds to 1 cup of water. I often take a teaspoon of each of the three sorts
along with 3 cups of water. Put it all in a pot, bring it to a boil, lower it
to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes – it’s nice to keep it going until the
coriander seeds (those are the round ones) start to sink. If you find yourself
liking this tea, you can mix the seeds up in advance and keep them in a jar or
baggie.
